The next chapter: I'm joining Satispay as their CTO. They're revolutionizing payments for millions across Europe: simple, fair, accessible. We're hiring across engineering. Want to build fintech that actually empowers people? Let's talk.

Today I'm ending my 12-year VMware journey. When I joined, "cloud native" was barely a concept. We built teams that created and improved systems that became industry standards. This one goes out to all the exceptional engineers who made this remarkable. Next? Details tomorrow, so sit tight 😀

The countdown begins: MINUS TEN

I must say that trading planes for trains as a mean of transportation is a net positive so far

I've been so incredibly busy in the past 4 weeks that I barely had time to sleep. Super excited about what's coming next and finally being able to catch my breath 💀

“The Wipe House”

I’m running an experiment with a couple of friends and it required to sign up on truth social. The memes on it are ✨unhinged✨

I wish there was an ETF tracking all the inside traders in and around the White House.

Another weekend, another tournament.

I’m not going to be at Kubecon this time around, I really wanted to but timing didn’t work out in the end.

Another thing that’s has been occupying a lot of my time on the weekends lately is following my daughter through various fencing competitions across the country. She started taking classes in July last year and went all in 😀

Something is brewing! It’s going to be a very slow roll but there are several things that are going to keep me busy this year. Watch this space 😉

I’ve been trying to stay away from social media, mostly to wait out the fallout from Trump being sworn president once again. Since the craziness is still “pedal to the metal” with no sign of slowing down, I’m considering building a bit of a bubble on here and start interacting again.

Back in the saddle after a pretty cool Christmas break. One of the highlights of the break was that I drove to Denmark and back in 4 days! First proper road trip with an EV, and no issues whatsoever. Visiting Billund and the Lego House was pretty awesome.

We open presents on Christmas Eve and there’s nothing you can do about it 😂

Anyone I know know the @bsky.app peeps? There’s a community manager role I’d love a referral for 👀 Or maybe RT/comment for reach to help me out? Please & thank you! 🙏

I mean, I don’t know if this counts as bragging or what, but I’m definitely the only person I know that owns an industrial-grade AC unit that is installed on a 19 inch rack sitting on the roof.

llm agents hackathon ⭐ More than $200k in prizes and resources! With more to be announced. rdi.berkeley.edu/llm-agents-h...

🧵 a thread with a hot take fresh out of Kubecon: AI workloads are so different from traditional and cloud-native workloads that require a first class citizen abstraction that we don’t have yet. 1/3

So many friends at Kubecon. It’s uplifting.

Very proud to see @thenikhita.bsky.social on the main stage at #Kubecon

I’m at #Kubecon! If you wanna chat hit me up, I don’t have a fixed schedule but trying to squeeze in a bunch of talks I wanna see.

Salt Lake City I’m in you.

The joy of traveling: missing a connection in Denver after 16+ hours of travel and being stuck overnight in a dusty motel outside the airport. But don’t worry Kubecon, I’m getting there today 😂

I'm importing my twitter archive over to Bluesky. This move is as official as it gets :) shoutout to the awesome tool by @marcomaroni.it : github.com/marcomaroni-...

Real engineer: --grammar json.gbnf github.com/ggerganov/ll...

What are the best options for somebody who’s confident with Go and C (and a bit of Java too) and wants to learn Python? I feel like I’m making progress on my own but missing a lot of nuances about the language.

First batch of my spicy olive oil is ready: Ligurian olive oil (sweeter and less tangy), and Calabrian sun-dried chilis.

Anybody that can suggest a good starter pack with AI/Data science folks to follow?

I’m so sorry friends. I’ll pour one out tonight.

Excited for Kubecon next week, I'm going to be around Tue-Fri and have no company obligations. If you're around, hit me up, would love to chat (especially if you're doing something AI-related)

Best of luck to my US friends for the big day today. Keeping my fingers crossed for ya.

I'll let you folks in on one of my favorite use cases for LLMs. They are great at solving one of the hardest problems in computer science: naming things 🤯 (haven't tried invalidating cache just yet)

For those wondering why I have that header pic in my profile… this is one of the best pieces of hardware (and possibly software) built in the 90s.

👋🏼 Good to see you on this side. Welcome to Bluesky. I’ve put together a short starter pack of community members who post technical topics about Kubernetes. Hope you enjoy. go.bsky.app/MHYb3B9

Earlier this year I’ve ditched iTerm2 (after well over a decade) for WezTerm and after a brief adjustment period, I’m happy with the switch. I’m now trying to see if there are better alternatives to VSCode in this world dominated by AI assistants (not a fan of copilot in vscode). Suggestions welcome

Raft was optimized for understandability over simplicity 🤷 Chris Jensen & @heidihoward.bsky.social wrote about LogPaxos, which they say is simpler than Raft or MultiPaxos: decentralizedthoughts.github.io/2021-09-30-d.... CASPaxos is simpler but likely less broadly applicable than log-based consensus

Okay, let's try a revised version of the Bloom filter diagram with 75% fewer bits, a linear layout for the bits, and 25% fewer arrows. Is this one better? Design constraints: must be printable in black&white, should be compact so that it doesn't take too much space in the book.

We found lil “bunny hop” owners. Apparently the tiny little bunny jumped out of a second story window and landed on the grass of my backyard while the neighbors were out. We returned it this morning and we were all happy. Except for my daughter who already gave the bunny a name 😅

I’ll admit I haven’t been that interested in the underpinnings of both BlueSky and Mastodon other than a very high level overview of the protocol, but now I’m intrigued and want to learn more. Any pointers to good docs/code to read? Interested in both and in any interoperability project might exists

At LinkedIn, we use Kubernetes to build one of the largest on-prem bare metal compute fleets. We’re hiring engineers at senior and staff levels (Seattle or Bay Area only), if you’re interested, DM me here or on Twitter.

Just found a tiny (tiny!) bunny in my backyard. He’s friendly to humans but he’s been out for a while given his condition. Gave it a temporary home, a good cleanup and some food and water, we’ll see if someone lost it tomorrow.

SHITPOSTING is an anagram of TOP INSIGHTS

@dinel.net my regular cocktail bar is doing a full Japanese-inspired cocktail menu. This is a Japanese twist on the Negroni. Not bad.

After one year of full EV transition (2 cars, solar panels, 11kW charge at home… the works) I can definitely say it was worth it. I love classic cars with ICEs but for a daily driver and the occasional road trip the comfort and convenience of an EV is unbeatable.

Anyone got an “AI people” starter pack? Or have they not migrated from tech Xitter yet?

I’ve been spending some quality time with LangGraph and I’m fascinated. I wonder what other people are using to build RAGs with.

What makes a good dev platform? I put together some ideas for a recent virtual Dapr day but I think it is an interesting discussion beyond just Dapr. Check it out: youtu.be/UuwnEKKt7aA

Is this Twitter now?
